Cities Vie for New Broad Museum

Tomorrow night, the Santa Monica City Council will take up a proposal to house billionaire Eli Broad's collection of nearly 2000 pieces of contemporary art on city land next to the Civic Auditorium. Beverly Hills has plans for the same art to be located there. What about Broad's so-called "lending library for contemporary art," which has already made 7,100 loans to 475 museums and galleries around the world? We speak with Santa Monica City Councilman Kevin McKeown.
